This is an exciting opportunity to join SEROCU’s Proactive Economic Crime capability, which comprises a number of teams targeting illicit finances and money laundering.

The Financial Intelligence Development Unit identify and proactively develop financial intelligence in support of ROCU specialist capabilities and operations.  

You will be part of a team responsible for identifying and developing intelligence aimed at achieving disruption outcomes, both criminal and civil.  

The role also involves liaising with other ROCUs and Force SARs teams, working collaboratively on projects, providing support and sharing best practice. 

You will work closely with other Financial Intelligence Officers, Financial Investigators and an Analyst, under the leadership of a Senior Financial Investigator. 

The intelligence product you produce will be adopted for investigation by one of the dedicated Proactive Economic Crime investigation teams, or potentially by other ROCUs or Force teams. 

Working in our SEROCU means you will be part of the national fight against serious and organised criminality. You will have an insight into the national policing picture, working alongside colleagues from other forces, being involved in investigations from a wide range of teams and supporting colleagues up and down the ROCU network. It is an exciting area to work in, and one that is constantly evolving in response to the criminal threats that we face.  

We are looking for adaptable and driven individuals preferably with a background in intelligence development, who are willing to learn new skills, and keep abreast of the changing technological opportunities. 

We will support your training and development to transition into the role, including Financial Intelligence Officer accreditations. 

The candidate must be highly motivated and able to work both closely with other members of the team and at times on their own. You may be required to assist other teams within the ROCU. You must display the highest ethical standards and integrity.   

There is flexibility around the base location, and you will be located at one of SE ROCU’s three base stations. There will be opportunity to work remotely at times.

Please note that this role is part of a national, regional and local network and as a result you may be required to travel for business purposes mainly across the south east region and occasionally throughout the UK. Therefore, the successful candidate will require a full UK driving licence.  

Due to the nature of our work, security is of paramount importance to us and therefore it will be necessary for the successful candidate to obtain and maintain vetting level SC together with a number of enhanced security checks.  In order to achieve this, you must have resided in the UK for the past five years. Exemptions may apply for overseas or other diplomatic service (with HM Government), and studying abroad. 

You can find more information about security vetting here.
